Spotting an open site, he assumed the under-taker must be digging, however there was no under-taker to be found - upon realising the time, 12;54, he again assumed it must be a lunch break before a funeral. However, after laying down his mother’s flowers he became curious - there was no shovel, and the gravesite looked uneven, as if it had been dug inside-out…As he drew closer, that’s when he saw it… a boy. No older than a teenager, passed out, bloody and covered in dirt with one foot dangling over the grave’s edge - as if he’d just crawled out of it.

Summary
Bruce knew that the creatures of the Other World were mostly evil, or at least deceitful.
But Bruce had been raised by a creature of the Other World who taught him that nurture was more important than nature.
Bruce was Batman, the monster hunter. Tonight, however, Bruce was just a human, one among many, watching a crying child.***
Or Dick watches his parents die, almost goes to jail, and is miraculously saved, except the "miracle" is a terrifying monster hunter.
Alfred gave him muffins, Bruce should kill him, and Dick isn't sure what the appropriate reaction should be.Series

Summary
Batman can’t kill to avenge Robin. But Bruce Wayne isn’t Batman. Jason Todd isn’t Robin. And protection is another cup of tea entirely.
The idea for this came from a Tumblr post, but I changed it to make it my own – added some more conflict to make it more dramatic because you should never write at two am while jetlagged. It escalated. I know the internet likes that, so here you go. Knock yourselves out on the angst sauce. Don’t do actual drugs, kids.

Regret And Forget The New Family, Same Faces by LuneWolf13

Summary
Damian Al Ghul Wayne dies pathetically. Pathetically, but peacefully, with two brothers by his side and the voice of his father in his ear. He foolishly believes that he won't resurrect someway or another.
Why. Why did he think that? Why, with the absurdity that is his life? He honestly should have known better.
Or: Thirteen year old Damian wakes up as a baby (toddler) version of himself. As you can imagine, he's not particularly pleased about the baby part. Or that he's in a different universe with no way to go back.
The silver lining is that he now has the chance to be Father's only child (temporarily). But that's only after he gets home because in case he forgot to mention, he woke up in the League.
Fuck.
Regardless of the differences of this strange universe, he is determined to ensure the adoption of his siblings. If his plans do not succeed, Damian will be forced to take...drastic measures to bring them together.

Summary
This is the story of how Bruce Wayne survived the zombie apocalypse until he was able to retake Gotham.
~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce was nine years old when the zombie apocalypse started, and well over a decade later, he could still remember that day as clearly now as it had been when it happened.“Bruce! Are you ready yet? It’s time to go!” Thomas Wayne, his father, shouted up the stairs.
In his bedroom, Bruce stood in front of the mirror and once again tried to tie his tie right. Alfred had shown him just yesterday how to do it, but for some reason he just couldn’t quite replicate the work. The tie just wouldn’t work right, settling crookedly against his chest. He huffed in annoyance, his nose crinkling with displeasure in the mirror. “Coming dad!” He shouted over his shoulder. “Just one second!”
Clumsy fingers untied the knot, then tried it again with the same results. Bruce frowned. “What am I doing wrong?” He muttered.

Summary
“You can only be worth something if you’re useful. People forgive you if you help enough. But if you stop being useful—what’s left?”
Jason shut the book like it might shatter. His heart slammed against his ribs.
For years—years—he’d thought Tim Drake had slid into his role with ease. The perfect little replacement, the better Robin, the golden boy who stole his family and wore it like armor. Jason had hated him for it. Resented him. Told himself Tim had never struggled the way he had.
OR:
Each BatFam member connecting with Tim, learning WHY he is the way he is. Steph/Cass, Jason, Damian, Dick, Duke, and Bruce, with introspection from Alfred

Summary
Due to a magic-based mishap, Batman's internal dichotomy is upended into an external dynamic. The rest of the Batfam and Justice League can only watch on, both fascinated and disturbed.
Or...
Bruce Wayne has never had so much free time on his hands. He decides to spend it coaxing a grumpy Bat into letting himself be adopted sideways into brotherhood, meddling in his sons' lives, and messing with the Justice League. This works out better than anyone could have reasonably anticipated.

Summary
The first time it happens, Bruce doesn’t do a great job at hiding his surprise. It was only a couple weeks after Tim’s adoption was officially finalized - hyphenated name and all. Bruce still smiles to himself at the memory of reading ‘Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne’ on those papers, trying not to choke up at his third son being the first to take the Wayne name. Of course that was never an expectation, but still, it meant something that Tim chose to take it.
With that considered, perhaps Bruce shouldn’t have been quite so shocked by the teen calling him ‘Dad’, but he is. And he’s even more startled to hear it declared loudly as Tim abruptly sprints towards him down the hall at full speed.
“Dad Test!”
Or
Tim starts a trend in the family of jumping at Bruce at random, increasingly difficult times shouting: 'Dad Test!' to see if he'll catch them. This leads to many shenanigans & then crash lands into angst because of course it does.

Summary
Bruce Wayne, ever the emotionally constipated man, sat in his chair.
It wasn’t his chair at W.E. where he ditzed, himbo’d, and Brucie’d his way through social calls, fooling every soul into falling for his outgoing, peacock-like persona.
It wasn’t his chair in the Batcave, where he analyzed the trails of long-forgotten cold cases or a string of messy murder scenes, maintaining his broody, self-sacrificing, and ever-so-paranoid bat vigilante persona for colleagues, media, and family alike.
It wasn’t his chair in his sitting room, where he was often found on slow mornings, usually nursing a steaming cup of green tea and sat on the worn leather couch with the latest edition of the New York Times crossword, word search, or other puzzle, opening himself to his family and friends with the simple offer of space and Bruce.
It was, instead, a chair in his study, where only his family was permitted to enter—a safe space and a haven of silence, away from the bustle of people and the rush of crime.
